Stranger Things is coming to an end with Season 5, and fans all over the world are sharing their wildest and most emotional theories. Many think Season 5 will be full of surprises, heartbreak, and spectacular fights following the major events of Season 4.
Here are 10 of the most talked-about fan theories:
1. Hawkins Might Be Destroyed
The Upside Down burst into Hawkins at the end of Season 4. The town is predicted to be completely ruined in season 5, according to fans. Between evil forces and our heroes, it could become a war zone; saving the earth could mean losing Hawkins permanently.
2. Will Might Turn Evil — But Be Saved
Some fans believe Vecna might again control Will’s mind and drive him against his friends. They also think that his love and bond with the group will bring him back. He may be deeply troubled, and his emotions could play a role in the story.
3. Jonathan May Die Protecting Will
One of the most commonly employed depressive hypotheses is this. Many fans think Jonathan, Will’s older brother, might give himself to save Will. It would be one of those moments that is powerful and emotional, showcasing his brother’s love.
4. Karen and Holly May Die
Some fans are concerned that innocent figures such as Karen (Mike’s mother) and Holly (his younger sister) may not survive in the chaos. This could indicate that Vecna’s last tactic is incredibly perilous and that nobody is immune to danger.
5. Steve Might Sacrifice Himself

7. Time Travel Might Happen
Fans observed that the Upside Down is trapped in 1983, the day Will vanished. This has given rise to a theory that time travel could be implicated, and the characters may return to attempt to stop the evil before it ever started.
8. Kali (Eleven’s “Sister”) May Return
Originally introduced in Season 2, Kali might reappear in the last season. She possesses illusion powers and may work with Eleven to battle Vecna. Some fans think she will return just in time for the epic fight.
9. Eddie Might Return in Some Form
In Season 4, Eddie passed away, but some observers believe he could still return as a vampire, a ghost, or even someone possessed by Vecna. His story seemed unfinished, and many people want to see him again in Season 5.
10. Max Could Wake Up with Powers
Following her near-death encounter with Vecna, Max is in a coma. Some admirers think she might wake up with powers either imparted by Vecna or acquired via trauma. She might play a surprise role in the last combat.
